Chocolate Spice Quickies - Tuesdays with Dorie


I baked a few items ahead because of the crunch that is coming with the beginning of the school year in September and the Jewish  Holidays in October.  The problem, I am finding is that although I bake, I don't write it up and forget all the details.  I guess, I have to change my ways and either bake and write or not bake ahead.

I made this week's selection, Chocolate Spice Quickies selected by Jessica of My Baking Heart, for TWD, as soon as this month's list came out.  Since then, I have done a lot of baking and have no idea if there were any issues with this cute little cookie.

I do remember liking them and thinking, they were not particularly spicy.  They were good cookies and if spice is the goal, adding a little more of the spices might make a difference.  Since, we liked them, the way they turned out, I would make them, the same way.

You can find the recipe for these in Dorie Greenspan's book Baking From My Home to Yours, on page 140 or at Jessica's site.

    Even though we're at the end of the book, there's such a great selection for September! Thanks for baking along with me this week, Chaya! :)

    Your cookies look delicious! I do the same thing -- bake ahead, then either forget to post or forget what I was going to say.

    These look so deep and chocolatey. I'm sorry I'm not participating in BWD anymore. (Life's just gotten too busy.) I hope to try these soon, anyway. They look lovely.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
